This post is part of the LAMB Acting School 101 - Kate Winslet.
One actress that has been a role model and inspiration to me, both on-screen and off-screen, is Kate Winslet.
The film that introduced her to me was ex-most-successful-film-ever TITANIC, during the year that started my great passion for cinema for real: 2009 (I'm a late bloomer concerning this). I thought she was one of the most beautiful women on earth, and was impressed by her acting skills as well. Plus I've never since seen a (on-screen-)chemistry like the one she has with Leonardo in this film.
Kate is one of those few actresses that have the body of a goddess, and oddly enough, makes you feel very confident about your own one. She has appeared in various period films, and I remember her saying in an interview, that she can only explain the reason why she was chosen for these films must be that her body is perfectly apt for wearing a corset.
Now that I think about it, I've only seen her in one non-historical film, namely THE HOLIDAY, and this explains why I had that strange sensation while watching it... Kate in modern clothes, in a modern environment? That I wasn't used to.
Aside from the above mentioned ones, I've seen the following of Kate's films (in chronological order): SENSE & SENSIBILITY (I'm a fan of Jane Austen), REVOLUTIONARY ROAD (Kate and Leo re-united), FINDING NEVERLAND (it was on TV) and THE READER (acclaimed/ the book was incredibly good). That means I've seen 6 of the 20-something feature films Kate has appeared in, and none because of her - at least not really. But I have heard about many other wonderful films with her, and this inspired me to put together the following list to contribute to the LAMB Acting School 101- Kate Winslet:
Kate Winslet films I have to watch before I turn 17 (next March):
(In chronological, most-anticipated/"curiosifying" order)
5. Romance & Cigarettes (2005) John Turturro
4. Little Children (2006) Todd Field
3. Hamlet (1996) Kenneth Branagh
2. Heavenly Creatures (1994) Peter Jackson
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) Michel Gondry
Wish me luck and...
